Many times on our evening rides find myself being blinded by the setting sun. Looking for some form of adjustable sunshade visor that works well with the Honda oem windshield and hardtop roof. I'd be interested in what other forum members have come up with, be it purchased or DIY. Thx.

I have my cargo bag mounted to the front bar, too much on the back one already. Plus it keeps everything in front of me when I want it. Hangs down a bit but helps a little. I can see under it just fine, doesn't hinder my line of sight or anything. FWIW.
that's a great idea!

Damn, pricey for what it is. Doesn't look like that is for a pair either, that's each.

Yes I have two on my pioneer 1000-5 it works ok but it could be bigger.

I see that same comment in a number of reviews. I need to do some measuring tomorrow. I have so many things already mounted to that cross bar, and don't think they will come down far enough.

This is on a dirt road where I can encounter cars/trucks/tractors. Depending on the sun position, can be blinded for a few hundred yards. I do slow it way down and run as far over on the shoulder as possible.

Thats a great idea ! It's not very convenient to use when mounted on the rear bar at all ....

Dark sunglasses are not enough at times. I think I want something opaque that can moved/flipped down for when needed, and out of the direct viewing, when not.
Not trying to be a smart alek, and am entirely serious. A baseball cap works wonders, or if you wear a helmet the longer visor that can be adjusted works well to. No matter what, glare on the windshield makes it nearly impossible to see anything at times.
